Exploring the strange customs of ancient Myanmar tribes: Women are beautiful with tattoos on their faces

Women from tribes such as the Magen and Chin in Myanmar regard tattoos as their beauty.

According to the British "Daily Mail" report, in the remote mountainous areas of northwest Myanmar, there are still some ancient tribes whose beauty is tattoos, such as the Magan and the Chin ethnic group. Women in these tribes have complicated tattoos on their faces and necks, but this custom is on the verge of extinction because of government bans.

It is reported that in ancient times, women in these tribes were famous for their beauty, so gangsters would sneak into the village and assault women. To solve this problem, World Customs Network, tribal elders ordered facial tattoos on young girls to reduce their attractiveness. Gradually, this tradition became deeply rooted in the village and became a symbol of beauty.

However, since the 1950s, this tradition has been officially banned. Over time, women who still follow this tradition have become as precious and rare as living fossils, attracting the attention of people who are curious.

These tribes also have the custom of playing the flute with their noses. The picture shows Magen women.

Most of these tribes live in mountainous areas very far from Nay Pyi Taw, the capital of Myanmar.

Since the 1950s, this tradition has been officially banned.

Facial tattoos for Qin women are now much simpler.

The woman said her spider web tattoo successfully attracted many men.

This tradition was used in ancient times to make women ugly.

Young women in the tribe have begun to abandon this tradition.

Heu, 67, is currently the youngest person in the tribe to have a tattoo.
